Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lo noto al escuchar tu voz
Si algo tienes que decir, antes de dormir
Yo estaré aquí, al otro lado
Recuerda que ante todo soy tu mejor amigo amor
Y que siempre estaré cuando quieras hablar
En mi puedes confiar enteramente porque tu para mi
Eres la mejor, la mejor parte de mi
Es que tu eres ese amor, que nunca quiero verse ir
Porque tu eres la mejor, la mejor parte de mi
Es que tu eres ese amor, que es la razón de mi vivir
Se que no has estado bien y yo en mi soledad también lo he sentido
Esos vacíos que nos da
Pero nadie dijo que, era fácil esto de amarse así, sin lastimar
Recuerda que ante todo soy, tu mejor amigo amor
Y que siempre estaré cuando quieras hablar
En mi puedes confiar enteramente
Porque tu, para mi
Eres la mejor, la mejor parte de mi
Es que tu eres ese amor, que nunca quiero verse ir
Porque tu eres la mejor, la mejor parte de mi
Es que tu eres ese amor, que es la razón de mi vivir
Tu dame hoy la mejor parte de mi
Tu dame hoy la mejor parte de mi
